Chapter 9 Like-mindedness is a rivalry
The old man sighed and didn't make a sound for a long time.
There was neither a promise nor a refusal.
It's not that the old man has really seen through the wealth and glory of the world, and it's not that he doesn't believe that Zhou Cheng really has the ability to give his family a rich show. It's the old man who knows the hidden thoughts of his granddaughter.
Although I have always known that there is little hope, I am incapable of how there is still a glimmer of hope. But after an open and honest conversation with Zhou Cheng today, the last glimmer of hope in the old man's heart was shattered.
The old man is sighing for his granddaughter.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Zhou Cheng saw that the old man didn't answer for a long time, thought about it, and finally felt that he owed something in his heart, and he didn't dare to stay for a while, so he immediately stood up helplessly and said goodbye: "All the troubles are your old man!
"Gongzi Zhou, why don't you eat before leaving?" The old man saw Zhou Cheng look like he got up and left, so he came back to his senses and asked in surprise.
Zhou Cheng shook his head and said, "Old man, have you really forgotten?"
The old man sighed when he heard this, and then he remembered that he was so confused that he forgot that the person in front of him had long since stopped eating the fireworks in the world. After being with him for so long, this one had just eaten a few meals of millet rice when he first woke up, and he hadn't eaten since then.
I actually asked such a thing, are I really old?
"Sister Xiu'er, please take a lot of pain, old man, the poor road will wait for you in the mountains!" Zhou Cheng finished speaking, resolutely rejected the old man's send-off, turned around and left, and walked out of the house not far from the door to see Xiu'er "chasing" his cousin returning triumphantly.
The little girl has been in the mountains for a long time, and she has really become a veritable wild girl, and she actually chased and killed her cousin with a firewood knife in her hand. Regardless of the views of the neighbors of Siye. Now that he has returned victoriously, his smiling face is flushed, and there are fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Seeing Zhou Cheng leaving, he was stunned for a moment, blushing slightly, and quickly put the firewood knife behind his back and asked, "Brother Zhou, you, are you leaving?"
This is too much to cover up, cover your ears and steal the bell!
It's just that Zhou Cheng looked at this move, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Xiu'er's appearance, and he was angry and funny in his heart.
Xiu'er's tenant thinks that he has ruined Xiu'er's reputation. But I don't know if Xiu'er didn't mean to do this?
Get a bad name, and avoid the idea of others beating her relatives.
It turns out that no one is a fuel-efficient lamp!
It's no wonder the old man didn't go out to stop itγγγγγγ
"Don't worry, if you don't want to, no one in the world can force you!" Zhou Cheng was angry and funny, but also thought of why Xiu'er and the old man were like this, and in addition to being annoyed, there was also some sentimentality.
If Xiu'er's parents are still there, why do she and the old man have to make such a decision?
There are no secrets in the countryside, just when Zhou Cheng was angry with the patriarch of the Xiu'er clan, the patriarch of the Zeng family in the distance had already rushed towards the Xiu'er family with a large group of people.
In the crowd, there were a few Taoist priests wearing cranes and holding dust.
Xiu'er looked at the Taoist priests in the crowd with an angry face, obviously recognizing those Taoist priests.
"The grass people brought the master of the Zeng clan to meet the immortal chief, and thanked the immortal for his kindness, the virtue of the immortals, the Zeng clan is unforgettable!" The patriarch of the Zeng clan came to Zhou Cheng and immediately led everyone to kneel on the ground and pay homage.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The poor way is just a gesture, not enough to worry about teeth, how dare you make such a big gift?" Zhou Cheng did not have the habit of letting people pay a big salute, and immediately supported the old patriarch with both hands on the ground, preventing the old patriarch from taking the lead in worshipping.
Respect or disrespect is not to look at bowing. Besides, Zhou Cheng didn't feel how much of it was pious without distractions, so he naturally didn't want to accept this worship.
If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something.
Zhou Cheng is not a fool, let others calculate!
The old patriarch was slightly disappointed, and when he was about to forcibly bow again, everyone saw that Zhou Cheng was polite, and they had already stood up one after another, and everyone made a gesture together. After all, not everyone is willing to embrace the dust on this dirt road in the countryside, but worship a Taoist priest who looks younger than himself.
Although he knew that the Taoist priest in front of him was a Taoist with immortal law, the immortal elders of other people said so themselves, so why should they bother to suffer for themselves.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Changxiang is too young to convince the public.
People are visual creatures and forgetful!
The old patriarch's face turned slightly pale, and he didn't know if he was frightened, or if he was angry with the direct descendants who had no interest in the back.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" Just when the old patriarch was angry with his juniors, the old Taoist priest in the crowd had already stepped forward and walked directly in front of Zhou Cheng to salute.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Zhou Cheng returned the salute, and then looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him with a smile, as for whether he was also smiling in his heart, it is unknown.
"I don't know where the Taoist friend is calling, where is the fairy town? What is the matter of traveling to my Qingyang Mountain, everyone belongs to the same way, but I don't know that the Taoist friend is visiting, and I haven't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, it's really rude, rude!" The old Taoist priest smiled, but between the words, it was obviously thorny.
After all, Zhou Cheng's ability is just a rumor in the countryside, and the old Taoist priest is in it, so he understands how many rumors in the countryside are true and how many are false. After all, he himself is different, and he has a reputation like an immortal among the villagers?
The old Taoist was more concerned that Zhou Cheng had intruded into their territory, and it was likely that he would eat their interests.
After all, the number of believers is limited, and the incense naturally has a fixed number. If Zhou Cheng is allowed to live here, isn't it just an uninvited guest who comes to grab benefits?
Zhou Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. But they don't want to pit each other in front of the villagers, which ruins the reputation of Taoism. Immediately smiled and said: "Poor Daoyun Chengzi, from Shuzhong, I don't know if Daoist friends are still satisfied?"
"Yun Chengzi?" the old Taoist priest muttered slightly, but he couldn't remember when he had heard of such a famous Taoist. But in this era, the news is already closed, and the war in the north is continuous, and the land is full of blood. Thousands of miles away from home in Shu, it is not surprising that the old Taoist priest has not heard of Zhou Cheng's name. After muttering slightly, he couldn't question anything.
"I don't know how many days the Daoist friends will be in Panheng, and the poor Dao and all the disciples should ask for some benefits!" the old Taoist asked with a smile. But it was undoubtedly a little aggressive, so he had to drive people away.
"You are the Taoist who calculated the six relatives for Xiu'er?" Zhou Cheng's eyes really narrowed this time, and he immediately asked with a smile.
Xiu'er's face turned slightly pale.
"What's wrong with her being a lone star, losing her life at a young age, and her parents are dead?" the old Taoist priest obviously understood what Zhou Cheng meant, and asked angrily without showing weakness.
It is at stake in his own prestige, and he cannot be allowed to retreat. Since Zhou Cheng not only wanted to stay here for a long time regardless of the rules and refused to leave, but also disregarded the friendship of the Daomen, and intended to overturn the case for this girl, the old Taoist could only put on a posture of facing him head-on.
Xiu'er was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Zhou Cheng's back.
The face of the Zeng clan patriarch next to him suddenly changed.
The old patriarch never thought that his repeated informations were useless, and the old patriarch didn't believe his words at all, so he really got into trouble with this immortal chief.
"Daoyou's face is black, and there are five evils on his forehead, and there will be five thunderstorms in the future. I don't know if Youke has calculated?" Zhou Cheng saw Xiu'er shrinking behind him, and immediately a smiling face faded, and he asked with a cold face.
